Public Law 158
Summary
The bill creates mandatory minimum jail time or community service for repeat OWI offenders, lets courts award good‑time credit for those sentences, and broadens the definition of “vehicle” to include watercraft, repealing the separate motor‑boat intoxication crime. It also raises penalties for battery against health‑care, school and child‑services employees, requires blood‑test offers after fatal crashes, and adds a number of procedural changes to records confidentiality, charitable bail organizations, adoption processes, and child‑services placements.
